i've never seen the need for a real name (rather than an IP address)
in resolv.conf, under 1.0... sun-lamp's resolv.conf looks like:

domain cs.berkeley.edu
search cs.berkeley.edu berkeley.edu
nameserver      127.0.0.1
nameserver      128.32.138.82
nameserver      128.32.130.2

and it's running mostly-1.0 binaries, and it's an i386.

i set up a 1.0 sparcstation two days ago, and it didn't need
an explicit name; an ipaddr works fine...


i dunno why you're having the problem you are, but i've not seen it...
